Mourinho becomes first coach to win all three major European competitions

Jose Mourinho has become the first coach to win the Uefa Champions League, Uefa Europa League and Uefa Europa Conference League.

This comes after Mourinho guided AS Roma to a Europa Conference League triumph following their 1-0 win over Feyenoord on Wednesday night.

The Portuguese football manager had won Champions League triumphs with Porto in 2004, Inter Milan in 2010, and the Europa League with Manchester United in 2017.

The Conference League victory reduced the ‘Special One’ into tears as it was important to him.

“The great thing about my career is that, aside from the Europa League with Manchester United, doing it with Porto, Inter and Roma is very, very, very special,” said Mourinho.

“It is one thing to win when everyone expects it when you made the investments to win, but it’s quite another to win when something feels immortal, that feels truly special.

“This remains in the history of Roma, but also mine. I was told only I, Sir Alex [Ferguson] and Giovanni Trapattoni won trophies in three different decades. It makes me feel a little old, but it’s nice for my career.”
